Heathens like to make people miserable, they've always done that, they thrive on that stuff. Heathens murderer people all day long, Calvinism is more a spiritual murder than a physcial one. Please don't call these people Christians, they've never been, just like the authors of this site never been Christians. The reformation was a reformation of HEATHEN Roman Catholicism, hence the protestants are just as much heathen as the Roman Catholic. If you actually did some study of the matter you would see I am correct and a majority of the world is wrong. That's the problem with you atheists, just because a bunch of heathen say they are Christian doesn't mean they are. You did right here by questioning this heathen practice but you did wrong by identifying it as Christian just by their claims to be. You use the Bible to check and see if what they say is true. Anyway Atheism and Paganism are the worst murderers on this planet. Yet you take your murders and blame it on Christians because those heathen claim to be Christian.

These positions (in this case, regarding eternal security and predestination) are at extreme opposite ends of the spectrum, yet can both be supported with scripture. The debate has been waged for at least 300 years with no conclusion in sight. <BR/><BR/>Is there any finer proof of the Bible being merely the words of men?Glenn Dixonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06498526557246200871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-1166807005247251472006-12-22T12:03:00.000-05:002006-12-22T12:03:00.000-05:00Jon,I'm familiar with the position.

And as you may or may not know, there's also a very post facto interpretation based on 1 John that basically says if you leave it's because you were never really saved in the first place. It's amazing how divided christian theology is about things of such importance as the eternal state of your soul. My previous post was really dealing with the rhetorical aspect of the dialogue between the faithful and the apostates. In my experience more people take the 1 John position and not the one delineated by Stanley and Geisler when talking to deconverts.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, Merry Christmas to all (can I still say that here?)!!Agnosishttp://www.agnosis.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21219785.post-1166803312774082192006-12-22T11:01:00.000-05:002006-12-22T11:01:00.000-05:00Jon Curry, I think 1cor 15:40-42 describes a hea...Jon Curry,<BR/> I think 1cor 15:40-42 describes a heaven with differing degrees of Glory. This would seem to align with Christ teaching that there are many rooms in His Father's mansion. Paul is talking about the resurrection of the dead, not soley the faithful, and speaking of those different degrees of glory. I would say that the belief that we will all go to heaven has some merit within the bible. This also doesn't differentiate between believers and non believers. Resurrection of the believers would be but it says the dead, inclusive of all.

Total apostate heathen atheists could be going to heaven according to some people. I seem to recall Charles Stanley expressly defending that position in his book <I>Eternal Security</I>. I think Norman Geisler would say the same thing. Though we are faithless he remains faithful, because he cannot deny himself. We are saved not by works (continuing to believe) but by the faith in Christ that we had, if only briefly. Our sins are covered past, present, and future at that moment. So hopefully they're right and we'll all be in heaven.
